Link to original patch for PC: http://sonome.dareno.me/projects/rne-steam.html

Tl;dr this is a patch for English release of game repairing many issues with original translation. For PC it also includes some additional functionality, but for Switch we need to ignore them.

This patch was cutted for Switch to include only most of changed backgrounds and all changed texts, and put to correct folders with correct filename scheme.
Issue is that in PC patch they are injecting code replacing font at runtime and their font is slightly thinner than original one, and because authors changed some of break lines it results in broken break lines. You can see that at the beginning of game, but it doesn't exist f.e. in dialogue box where break lines are not used. Originally font in game is stored as texture, where code injection renders text with *.ttc font, so it's not possible to easily swap them.

Videos for PC are using different codecs for video and audio which results in no audio, and video rendered in SW (which ofc ends in frameskipping issues).
If someone has experience in converting scaleform videos, it would be nice to hardcode subtitles to video and convert it to *.usm compatible with Nintendo Switch release (i have experience in hardcoding .ass subtitles to h264 and h265, so only what I need is converter/packer for usm).

It wasn't tested fully, so expect potential bugs. I don't think break lines are so much big issue for end user if it can improve their understanding of game.

Put folder "01002A900EE8A000" to:
- Atmosphere: atmosphere/contents
- SX OS: sxos/titles

It should be compatible with all versions of game.

Temporal fixes for user to do:
Issue: Whole message on Switch from Fraujiro in Phase 1 is in one line with some part cutted, which makes it unreadable.

Why it happens: On PC this message is automatically breaked to several lines while on Switch it doesn't do that, so because there are no break lines hardcoded it shows whole message in one line.

Solution: delete or rename file "rn01_21a_00.msb" in
Code:
01002A900EE8A000\romfs\script\mes00

My title ID for R;N Elite is 0100B3E00F2C8000
Having trouble getting the game to patch, maybe its something to do with me using a cartridge version? Or being part of the Elite+DaSH double pack? hmm...

I've found that the chapter cards on my version are named without the _en at the end of the file names. Is that a mistake or is this different from your version? They only started working after I updated this.

Also, are the character names supposed to swap around after applying the patch because they don't for me, and I can't find anything wrong with the other file names in this patch

Thanks for the patch. I downloaded it from the link Sigma provided. Everything was working fine until Phase 12, right after the scene where
Kimijima tries to possess Airi again. Just after it changes the perspective to Kai again the dialogue from the scene when Kimijima tries to possess her loops again until the game closes by itself due to an error.

EDIT: Can confirm this happens because of the patch. I deleted it and everything works fine. I'm on SX OS, by the way.

Thanks for info. Currently I'm on Phase 4 and because I'm working on multiple games, it may take many weeks until I get there and check what is going on.

Played without the patch until the next story segment, where Kai visits Frau
after Sister Centipede gets deleted
. Made a save and then copied the patch files back to the Micro SD again. Save loads fine and everything seems to be working again. Apparently was just an issue with that particular scene. Will report if I encounter any other problems.

Tried to port the dash patch for switch but for some reason it hates the letter "i" and puts a space before and after like half of every letter i that appears, guess that one's not happening

Do you still have the patch you experimented with? I'd rather read the R;N DaSH with that glitch than without the patch.

Pretty sure you can just slap all the text files + images from the patch over. Check the files in this patch to see which ones were moved and how they're structured

Here is one based on the Committee of Zero v1.0.9 patch.

The Scaleform videos have been redone to work with switch, with the karaoke + translated subs hard-coded.

Game has not been thoroughly tested, so there may be issues I have not encountered.

All credit goes to Committee of Zero http://sonome.dareno.me/
Let's hope they release official switch versions of all their patches someday!

Why is this file around 1.8gb than the one initially posted?

    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles

    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?
